《80 Years Of Signing-In At The Cold Palace, I Am Unrivalled》Chapter 96: Speed Up
Advertisement
Lin Jiufeng, who said that he would wait for another spring rain, didn't tell the white cat why.
Spring was a time of recovery for all things in the world
In this period, Lin Jiufeng continued his routine in peace within the Cold Palace.
The next day, he entered the underground palace and opened the seal of the demon's den.
There was no need for him to do anything.
Out of the nine remaining demons, one of them flew out.
Boom!
Lin Jiufeng swung his hand and slapped him on the face.
The attack immediately sent the demon sprawling onto the floor.
Then, he signed in.
[Sign-In successful. Received 36 Swords of the Demon Path!]
Lin Jiufeng looked in surprise at the 36 longswords that appeared out of thin air.
They were entirely black in color, and each of them had a portion of a dragon's body carved on their surfaces. When the 36 swords were combined, they formed a hideous and vicious-looking demonic dragon that hovered in the air.
"This is a combination sword formation to summon a demonic dragon. The 36 swords are the demonic dragon's body. Once successfully executed, its might will inevitably be shocking."
After Lin Jiufeng understood its power, he happily kept the demonic swords and placed them into the sword case.
He would nurture them and improve their quality.
Since he had no use for them temporarily, he was planning on keeping them in the sword case where they could slowly be nurtured for improvement.
Lin Jiufeng usually left the demon's den after a beatdown.
The demons in the demon's den thought so too.
The demon that was struck down received grievous injuries, but he didn't care. After all, Lin Jiufeng would only hit him once. It wouldn't be a problem for him to slowly recover back to his peak.
The demons in the demon's den talked with each other and reminisced about the past once more.
They were just like old men who sat at the entrance of their villages…
They were looking at each other with nostalgic looks on their faces.
Their eyes were all filled with yearning.
As they were discussing, Lin Jiufeng knocked on the entrance of the demon's den.
Clang!
This made the demons look at Lin Jiufeng, they were all confused.
After defeating a demon with a slap, he actually didn't leave?
Was Lin Jiufeng planning to continue and humiliate them even further?

The hearts of the demons tightened for no reason.
They looked at him nervously.
But Lin Jiufeng didn't continue to attack.
He calmly asked, "Who is the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling?"
The demons in the demon's den were stunned.
He was looking for the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling?
Everyone looked at the Tauren demon that Lin Jiufeng injured yesterday.
"I am," the Heaven Raising Bull said, looking at Lin Jiufeng in confusion.
What was he trying to do?
Was he about to beat him up?
That would be too unreasonable.
Lin Jiufeng had just beaten him up yesterday.
"You're from the Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race?"
Lin Jiufeng continued his line of questioning.
Lin Jiufeng didn't attack or make any other moves.
As a result, the demons in the demon's den heaved sighs of relief.
"Yes." The Heaven Raising Bull nodded.
"Are you familiar with the other members of the Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race?" Lin Jiufeng asked once more.
"Of course, we were once sworn brothers," The Heaven Raising Bull said.
"What happened?" The Heaven Raising Bull followed up.
"Nothing much, it's just that the Great Sage of the Ocean Cover and the Great Sage of the Chaotic Heavens are coming to the Imperial Capital to find trouble with the Yuhua God Dynasty," Lin Jiufeng casually replied.
But this leisurely tone of his made the Heaven Raising Bull's heart tighten.
The Great Sage of the Ocean Cover and the Great Sage of the Chaotic Heavens actually provoked this fiendish man.
Wouldn't there be a conflict between them then?
"They are coming to find trouble with the Yuhua God Dynasty? What are you planning to do?"
The Heaven Raising Bull asked.
"Kill them, of course," Lin Jiufeng said in a matter-of-factly manner.
The Heaven Raising Bull looked nervous.
This ferocious man was truly planning to kill them.
But there was also a demon who objected. "Since the Great Sage of the Ocean Cover and the Great Sage of the Chaotic Heavens have already appeared in the world, they must have absorbed the renewed spiritual energy of this era and had already recovered their formidable strength. Do you really think that you can win against the two of them alone?"
With these words, the other demons became excited.
If Lin Jiufeng was defeated or killed, then they would have a chance to escape.

"Do you think that they will be able to defeat me in the early stages of the recovery of the world's spiritual energy after just absorbing the renewed spiritual energy of the world?"
Lin Jiufeng sarcastically asked.
He wasn't worried about this problem at all.
The excited demons seemed to have been strangled as they choked at the same time.
Thinking about Lin Jiufeng's current strength, the Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race that had only just appeared really wouldn't be able to defeat him.
"Why are you telling me all of this?" The Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling asked curiously.
Since Lin Jiufeng could win, why was he talking to him then?
"I want you to persuade the Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race. Stop them from overestimating their capabilities and causing trouble for the Yuhua God Dynasty." Lin Jiufeng calmly explained.
But every demon in the demon's den suddenly became excited.
Especially the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling.
He pointed at himself in disbelief. "You're letting me out?"
He was on the verge of tears.
Ten years.
Ten whole years.
Lin Jiufeng had suppressed them for ten years.
In these ten years, he had beaten up each and every one of them.
Well, almost…
It could be said that every demon in here had lived a depressing life so far in this brand new era.
But even so, they didn't give up on themselves.
Instead, they kept thinking about when they could leave.
As the world's spiritual energy recovered, more and more powerful cultivators would appear.
If someone were to defeat or kill Lin Jiufeng one day…
Then wouldn't they be able to escape?
But no one expected that Lin Jiufeng would actually take the initiative to release them.
"You don't want to go out?" Lin Jiufeng asked.
"No, I want to go out," The Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling replied in a hurry.
"But aren't you afraid that after I leave, I will join forces with the other Great Sages to destroy your Yuhua God Dynasty?" The Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling asked curiously.
The other demons were also puzzled.
Why would Lin Jiufeng do this?
"I am letting you out because I don't want to fight with anyone for the time being. I don't want to fight with the Seven Sages, so I want you to go and persuade them."
"As for your question, if I am worried that you will bring me trouble when you got out, you're overthinking it."
"Not just you, but also the other demons. I am planning to release them all in the near future."
"If you guys can deliver a devastating blow to me, I will praise you lot instead."
Lin Jiufeng sternly announced.
In a few days, these demons would no longer be useful to him.
Lin Jiufeng would no longer be able to sign in using the demons in this demon's den.
Of course, he could continue to suppress them.
But he had no intention of doing so.
The demons below were all excited upon hearing Lin Jiufeng's words—they were excited to hear that he was planning on releasing them.
"Aren't you afraid that our 3,000 plus demons will completely destroy your Yuhua God Dynasty once we get out?" A Demon God asked.
"The strong will always remain strong. After I let you all out, don't you all still need some time to become stronger? To absorb the renewed spiritual energy of the world, and to recover your own strength before coming to me for revenge?" Lin Jiufeng asked.
"To be honest, after these ten years, you lot aren't so useful to me anymore. I've thought about it seriously and I've decided to let you lot out."
"This world is simply too weak!"
"It's too slow to let the people of this world grow on their own. By releasing you guys, the world will have more powerhouses for they will feel pressured before your presences."
"Then, the recovery of the world's spiritual energy will also speed up."
"At that time, I will still be the same as before. I will still be able to suppress the world."
"I am simply dissatisfied with the recovery speed of the world's spiritual energy!"
Lin Jiufeng laid out his thoughts.
The current him already felt that this world was a mere cage to him.
The recovery of the world's spiritual energy was just incredibly slow for him.
Thus, he decided that the world itself needed a push.
He had to give the world a push so that the recovery speed of the world's spiritual energy would become slightly faster than a turtle's pace.

City of Champions Online
Having found the tragic truth that an art degree is worth less than the paper it is printed on, Jacquelyn Jones is frustrated with her dead end work as a graphic designer for a marketing firm, finding new ways to try and convince people that this week's 50 cent off sale is actually worth driving to the store. She's tried other VRMMORPGs, but they've all been fantasy-based, with a couple sci-fi games thrown in. But she wants something more, something Super. Superhero VRMMOs have had a... subpar reception in the past, in part due to the fact that the nature of most MMOs makes for fairly unheroic tales. After the couple hundredth time blasting the same group of mooks from the same faction on the same street corner of the same city, using the same powerset as everyone else because you only have a few options, it is hard to think of yourself as a hero anymore. But then she heard about City of Champions Online. For the first time, a developer partnered with a tabletop RPG maker to use their system to create a VRMMORPG, and it was one of the systems designed to be used with superhero games! And despite the name, there was no getting stuck in the same city as all the other players. The game world was a detailed replica of the real world, down to having some of the same shops and restaurants in town. She could be whoever she wanted, whatever she wanted. Now, she just has to find a way to become the heroine she's always wanted to be.

Starchild
“It’s life’s illusions I recall. I really don’t know life at all.” from the song, Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell Starchild is an adventure novel set within an understanding of reality that is rooted in Eastern spiritual traditions.It takes as its starting point experiments in remote viewing that were genuinely undertaken by the American military in the nineteen-nineties under the name of the Stargate Project. It then imagines how a more advanced attempt to weaponise the capabilities of consciousness might have been developed in the present day.The story then explores how Ultimate Reality might respond to such a threat.Deep, elemental forces thus bring together Samantha Martin and Sahadeva Varma, old colleagues from the Stargate Project, to avert the apocalyptic consequences of this military attempt to weaponise consciousness. This fast-paced story spans genres including romance, action, adventure, science fiction and more. Although this story is based on concepts drawn from established spiritual traditions, these have sometimes been extrapolated to the point of very extreme speculation for the needs of an adventure story.Much of the underlying philosophy, however, as explained in the dharma talks given by Samantha Martin, is paraphrased from the guidance of respected spiritual teachers. Scheduling: Starchild is a previously unpublished novel of one hundred thousand words which was serialised in weekly instalments over twenty-five weeks from 15th November 2021 to the 29th April 2022. Each instalment contains five chapters – an average of approximately four thousand words in each instalment.

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
